?

The white mist is getting closer and closer, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the animal bones make a sharp and penetrating sound when stepping on the animal bones.

When they were fifty meters away, Mo Yu found a white bone that had been trampled on by someone. He leaned over and observed that there were some grass clippings and loess stuck to the bones.

"Brother, there are some here too." Mo Qi also found two or three traces from the side and pointed in a low voice.

Mo Yu turned around and looked in the direction of Mo Qi's finger. Sure enough, it was the same as before, with footprints, grass clippings and loess.

"It's the two groups from before. They really came to the Northern Fog Forest." Mo Yu stood up and looked at the white fog in front of him.

"I have a good relationship with Big Brother in Kongtong Mountain. I don't know if we can meet each other inside." Mo Qi already knew that the people who wore hats before were people from Kongtong. Under the influence of Big Brother, he had a good impression of this force.

Mo Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, tightened his fur, and continued to walk forward: "It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Let's go in and see the situation first. If it doesn't work, I can't owe any more favors."

Fifty meters away in the blink of an eye, white mist rolled in, and a howling wind suddenly blew in the face, sending chills all over the body. It also made whimpering sounds as it blew past some corpses.

Mo Yu glanced at Mo Qi from the corner of his eye, and found no sign of fear of shrinking. Feeling relieved, he stepped into the white mist without hesitation.

Mo Qi touched the wooden darts in his arms and then merged into the white mist.

As soon as we entered the white mist, we were confused. The most amazing thing was that the temperature was so different from outside. It was warm and pleasant inside, not cold at all.

"Mo Qi, follow me closely. I'll call you anytime if you need anything."

The surrounding visibility was extremely low. In order to prevent them from accidentally getting separated and falling into the enemy's trap, Mo Yu had to seriously remind Mo Qi.

Mo Qi was only three steps away from Mo Yu. Hearing this, he was so excited that he promised not to leave his sight and followed closely.

The Northern Fog Forest is very big. After walking for a while, I still didn't see anything except white mist. Ordinary people would probably have become restless and fearful.

After half a stick of incense, the white fog finally gradually faded, and the visibility changed from two meters to ten meters. At the same time, scattered tombstones appeared around.

Due to the age, the inscriptions on the stele can no longer be seen. The body of the stele has also been damaged to varying degrees, either falling over or breaking. The ground is in a state of decay, with not a single blade of grass growing.

"Who buried so many tombstones?" Mo Qi looked surprised and carefully jumped over a tombstone and came to Mo Yu's side.

Mo Yu was squatting in front of a relatively well-preserved stele at this moment, waving his sleeves to brush away the dust. The traces left by the years were very deep, and he could only vaguely see the word "Longkong".

"The ancient warriors fought here, and these tombstones should have been buried by the forces belonging to each party later." The previous legend about the Northern Mist Forest came to Mo Yu's mind.

The inference is just a random thought, and the basis still needs more facts to prove it.

The two continued to move forward and saw many well-preserved tombstones, with the words "Longkong", "Beishan", and "Houliu" respectively engraved on them.

In addition, without any other clues, Mo Yu could only preconceptionally believe that these carvings represented the names of different forces, so the Stele Martial Arts Forest was actually a mass grave!

Yin Qi will breed in a place where the dead gather, and the decay of corpses will have an impact on the soil quality. In addition, there are many poison masters in the war, which can explain the reason why there is no grass growing here and the temperature is cold.

As for why the fog persists all year round, Mo Yu couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

After walking among the tombstones for about half an hour, they saw not only tens of thousands but also thousands of graves. Their moods turned from shock to numbness, and then from numbness to palpitations.

What was the reason for such a large-scale melee, with over 10,000 deaths, and how powerful were the people involved at that time?

I met no other people along the way, and nothing strange happened. There was a dry forest outside the tombs, and the trees had white branches, no leaves, and no grass.

"Brother, what kind of tree is this?"

The two of them walked through the withered white trees. Mo Qi looked around and was very surprised. It was the first time he saw white trees without leaves. How could these trees survive?

Mo Yu shook his head when he heard this: "I have never heard of it, and I have never seen it before."

"quack"……

Suddenly, a group of black shadows passed through the forest sky, accompanied by sharp and unpleasant screams.

The two of them were startled by the suddenness. When they heard the sound and looked up, they saw a group of large birds with dark brown down feathers flying by. The hair on the top of the head was sparse and the hair on the back was dense. The side of the neck was like thorns. The breast and wings were covered with thick feathers. They were very huge.

.

"It's a vulture!" Mo Qi exclaimed.

"Well," Mo Yu retracted his gaze and said thoughtfully: "This place is desolate, and these ferocious birds mostly feed on carrion. With such a large-scale outing, I'm afraid there will be a lot of animal carcasses or dead people."

Speaking of the dead, Mo Yu suddenly thought of the forces in Kongtong Mountain. His heart sank and he chased the vultures: "Let's go, follow them!"

Mo Qi was not stupid. He had already figured out some problems through his elder brother's words, and he followed closely.

The vulture flew very fast, and the two of them used all their strength to see the black shadow. They did not dare to be distracted and followed each other all the way.

Half a moment later, the speed of the vultures slowed down, and they were circling and making noisy noises in the sky a hundred meters away. When the two men caught up to 50 meters, the vultures all descended downwards.

"Wait a moment,"

Mo Yu stopped waving, and when Mo Qi was puzzled, he said: "The vulture lingered first, which means that there are other creatures on the ground, and it is enough to threaten their lives. My guess is correct, there should be someone, and he is still dead.

Got someone."

Mo Qi's eyes flickered and he lowered his voice: "Are they those people from before?"

Mo Yu did not answer hastily, there may be people from Kongtong Mountain ahead, or it may be another force. It is not a rational choice to advance rashly. You must first distinguish the pros and cons.

I definitely have to go, and divide the situation into two. If the people in Kongtong are in danger, even though I am weak, I must find a way to help.

If it is other forces, it needs to be judged whether to capture Linglong's group, the five people they met earlier, or the owner of Beiwu Forest itself.

After making up his mind, Mo Yu turned his head to look at Mo Qi and said solemnly: "The troops are divided into two groups. I will move over from this side, and you will lurk from the other side. When the situation is clear, I will make gestures to advance or retreat."

As he spoke, Mo Yu clenched his fists: "This is an attack."

Then he loosened his fists and raised his palms: "This is retreat."

Mo Qi understood the meaning and nodded heavily.

In this way, Mo Yu moved straight in, while Mo Qi went around and lurked from the other side.

After a dozen breaths, Mo Yu arrived first and hid behind a mound.

As for Mo Qi, he has disappeared. Mo Yu is not worried about this. He knows that Mo Qi is somewhere on the other side. He is practicing the assassin's way. Although he has not started, it is harder to find than usual.

After adjusting his breathing, Mo Yu gently poked his head out.

Ahead was an open area with very thick white dead trees, twice as many as those seen before, a dozen or so.

As expected, there were more than twenty people in the forest gathered in front of the largest white tree, all dressed in uniform and well-proportioned clothes.

When Mo Yu's eyes came into contact with this group of people, his eyes immediately shrank into a straight line and his brows furrowed.

Linglong was in the center of the crowd, tied to a tree. The five people he met earlier were also inside, and they were the same group of people who were guarding Linglong.

On the other side of the forest was a group of vultures, pecking at four or five corpses and making hoarse calls.

Looking carefully, there were no bamboo hats and raincoats scattered around the corpses. Fortunately, they were not from Kongtong Mountain, so I finally let go of my heart.

Next, Mo Yu began to look at the group of people intently. He wanted to see if there was any possibility of rescue for Linglong, as well as the origin of this group of people and whether there were any traps...

Linglong was tied to a tree. She looked calm and showed no fear at all. She was neatly dressed and did not appear to be abused or frivolous.

Some oil paper was scattered on the ground, and various food residues could be distinguished on the paper. The uneaten chicken legs were so dazzling.

There were two young men guarding Linglong. They held swords in their hands and kept a few meters away from Linglong. Judging from their expressions, Mo Yu felt that they were afraid of Linglong. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were afraid.

Did this girl prank these two people? Yes, that should be the case.

The five people I met by the river earlier seemed to be of high status. They were led by two old men and gathered around a simple stretcher to communicate.

There was a person lying on the stretcher. Mo Yu couldn't see his exact face. Judging from the white hair hanging down, he was very old and had a higher status than these two old men.

"Ah! Grandma is hungry, I want to eat meat, meat!" Suddenly, Linglong kicked her feet on the ground and shouted loudly.

The two guards looked angry and ignored him, tilting their heads.

There was a lot of commotion, and the two old men stopped talking when they heard the sound. One stayed behind to check the pulse of the person on the stretcher, while the other walked up to Linglong with a gloomy face.

"Bitch girl, what kind of poison did you inflict on my senior brother? I advise you to hand over the antidote quickly, otherwise you won't be blamed for being ruthless!"

With this explanation, Mo Yu finally understood why Linglong had been safe and sound, and at the same time he also understood why the other party was afraid.

This girl is very weird. I don't know what method she used to poison the leader of the opponent, and it is the kind of poison that cannot be found out and makes people helpless.

Since everyone is lying on a stretcher, it means that the poisoned person cannot move and his life is not long.

These five people must have received a message and came to rescue them. The old man who was checking his pulse was, as expected, a famous medical expert.

Some doubts were solved, but new doubts came to mind.

Since the leader of this group of people was poisoned, they should have directly arrested the two of them and threatened them, without setting up obstacles along the way. One more day of delay would make the poisoned person less likely to survive. No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

Mo Yu's mind raced, and a possible possibility emerged in his mind: the person behind the arrest of Linglong was not the group in front of him, but the group who set up an ambush along the way!

These people in front of me are probably just being used as pawns without even realizing it.

As for whether the people in Kongtong Mountain have also been involved in this situation, Mo Yu can't tell yet. Everything can only be known after meeting each other. If it is true that they are also being calculated, then who is behind the scenes and what is their plan?

Looking further into the forest, I saw that Linglong was dismissive of the old man's threat, and was still shouting: "My aunt is hungry, and I can't remember what poison she gave the old man. She has to eat meat, and she will remember it when she is full."

The old man's face was as gloomy as water, and he glared sideways at a guard.

The man dodges his eyes in agitation, complaining angrily to Linglong: "Didn't you just eat a moment ago? No, the chicken legs are still here."
